Thanks again for that. I was asking because I saw this picture and thought that was the rear wheel poke with 18x8.75 +38. Turns out it's the front wheel though!
I think my setup is gonna look pretty good! Front wheels at 18x7.5 +38 look pretty flush. See the second pic. As for the rear, I'm gonna go 18x8.75 +33 and keep those with no spacer. Should be flush front and back. We'll see.

Good, that's what I was hoping! Without the spacers the rear looks good. It'll match perfectly with 18x7.5 in the front.

Looking forward to seeing it bro! I like the aggressive front but its not for everyone. And also the setup you want will be pretty unique, and downright functional. Make sure you take lots of pics! Are you still going to use 225/40s all around?

No, 225/40's up front, 255/35 rear. I've seen a staggered setup with 530's on a Volester and it looked really good.

An aggressive yet functional look. The ride feels pretty similar to stock too!

Nope, pro kit.
About 4" inch less of a drop then sportlines, but you won't rub and I have heard of some problems with sportlines down the road. Up to you though, I do think the sportlines look nicer.

Can you post a picture really showing the wheel gap on pros?

There's a ton of pics and threads with the pro-kit. I really wanted a Pro-Kit before I won the SPD Coilovers. I was actually on Sportlines for 5 months or so and I wasn't happy with the ride quality. The Pro-Kit looks perfect IMO. I actually adjusted my coilovers right between where Sportlines and the Pro-Kit would sit.
